Even if you would settle for a downgrade of the artwork it will be difficult to find something to convert the HDMI ouput signal to something recordable because of HDCP feature of HDMI.
Analog hole.
Output to an HDTV, physically place a camcorder in front of the HDTV, record.
Unfortunately, high-quality, fair trade ergonomic keyboards cost an arm, a leg, and a few other body parts...
(High-quality fair trade NON-ergonomic keyboards, OTOH, don't. Try $69 for a brand new Unicomp Customizer 104 or SpaceSaver, assembled in Louisville, Kentucky, by some of the same staff that built the Model Ms back in the day. Or, I want to say it's around $100 for a Cherry G80-3000, I believe made in Germany?)
It means if someone gets 51% of the votes in the country, regardless of what the votes in Iowa are, and only if every other state adopts this change, they get 100% of the electoral votes.
If every other state adopts this change, then the electoral college is effectively completely worked around - all votes will be for the candidate that wins the popular vote.
If any states don't adopt this change, then Iowa won't adopt it either.
Not always. In the case of Intel and AMD's cross-licensing agreement, they actually were suing each other, before they settled with the cross-licensing agreement being part of it.
I just try to use keyboards with TrackPoints built in. That way, your hands don't even really have to move off the home row to use the mouse.
Unfortunately, the keyboards I tend to prefer (104-key boards with Cherry MX blue switches, mainly) don't have TrackPoints, and I find most buckling spring boards to be too heavy key force. (Still great to type on, just not QUITE my cup of tea any more.)
Every version of IE I can think of does add the HTTP.
Maybe you're thinking of NCSA Mosaic? That's the last browser I can think of that required you to type HTTP. And even then, only the very early versions.
By "backwards compatibility," I meant the ability to run the previous system's applications.
Try running C64 or C128 stuff on the Amiga. Emulators are fair game, but only if Commodore included one with the OS.;)
Try running Atari 8-bit stuff on the ST.
And, all that about the Woz edition is so horribly inaccurate... the Woz edition models were the first 50,000 machines built, not a bugfix release (in fact, the Woz machines all needed all of the bugfixes done to them.) I will say that the ROM 00 is buggy as hell, but that's what the ROM 01 upgrade was for, and there's not many ROM 00s left in existence. The only other bug that weakened backwards compatibility on the earliest systems... and this didn't keep stuff from running, it only corrupted the display with random pink dots in places, in one graphics mode (monochrome double high resolution, 560x192, which wasn't used by much software - although it was used by an 8-bit shell included on the original IIGS system disk) was a buggy graphics chip. That was fixed very quickly.
I wasn't saying that the GS was superior to the Amiga, just that it had a better sound chip.;) The Amiga did have a faster CPU (well, some will debate that - apparently, if you code tightly enough, a 2.8 MHz 65816 will thrash an 8 MHz 68000, but it's damn difficult to code that tightly, so for all intents and purposes, that 65816 will be much slower,) better graphics, and a better OS (under the hood, anyway - I'll take the Mac and IIGS UI, though.)
That said, the GS is a better//e than the actual//e, with better hardware support, a faster CPU, and a faster memory bus. And, it could run 16-bit stuff, too. So, if you wanted something that was 100% backwards compatible, while still having one foot in the modern era... your choice was the GS. The Mac, Amiga, and Atari ST couldn't do it.
(Before any UK Acorn nuts come on, yes, I know about the Archimedes and !65Host. The Archimedes was also nearly unheard of in North America (not completely, though - I found some references to Canada's government approving the A3000 for use in Canadian schools, but nothing of them being distributed here in the US, and I can't even find proof that any were actually SOLD in Canada,) and !65Host wasn't around when the Archimedes came out, IIRC.)
Actually, the Disk ][ was arguably a bigger achievement than the Apple ][ itself, and Woz designed that, too, with no knowledge of how storage worked at the time.
The "specialized BIOS" would be a ROM on the card itself - you can boot off of a PCIe SATA or SAS controller, just like you can boot off of a PCI PATA or SATA controller, just like you could boot off of an ISA ST506 or PATA controller.
OK, let's look at what was available in 1976, when the Apple-1 came out.
In single-board computers, which the Apple-1 was... there was, what, the KIM-1? Amazingly primitive compared to the Apple-1.
In backplane computers, there were the S100 bus machines, which cost significantly more to do what the Apple-1 could do with one board.
Now, for the C64... it came out in 1982, no? Of course some features are going to be advanced beyond what the Apple II could offer at the time. Keep in mind, though, that the Apple II was still quite competitive against the C64.
The Amiga... I'm not gonna dispute that it had better hardware than the Mac. (Although, the Mac arguably had a more intuitive UI.) But, I will use the Apple IIGS, which had by far the best sound chip of anything in its time. (Yes, I'm fully aware that this sound chip was gimped by not offering stereo sound without an add-on board. But still.)
Plus, the Apple II did offer quite a lot of expansion, which is something that many of its competitors lacked (or didn't do as well.)
No, Noscript would be completely ineffective for this one. Noscript doesn't do a damn thing when it's turned off, which is exactly what the user would do, because they're required to turn it off to "dispute the ticket."
I'm almost wondering if another approach to browsing is ideal - the extreme extension of the Google Chrome idea.
Most browsers run different tabs in different threads.
Chrome runs them in different processes.
I'm thinking... run them in different [b]virtual machines[/b], of a different architecture than the host system, making the host system physically incapable of running the malware. (Seeing as the client will basically need to be x86 to support a wide array of plugins (and each tab has its own plugin set, and you'd have to manually propagate the plugin to the other tabs,) that means that the host system will probably be PPC, SPARC, Itanium, or ARM or something.)
Native GUI performance wouldn't have been because of the CPU, but rather the tight coding of the OS.
And, running MS Windows... the newest version that !PCEm would support would be 3.0, no? And, full software emulation... eurgh. (Although I've heard it wasn't far off of a 4.77 MHz 8088...) So, no, that would be much slower.;)
(I've never used actual Acorn hardware, though, being in the US.)
A few years ago, there was a trend here in the US where almost every damn electronics store seemed to be listing all their computers as $400 cheaper than they were... because of a 2 or 4 year dial-up internet contract (I forget how long it was) at $21.95/mo from the various idiot-targeted ISPs (AOL, MSN, and the like,) and a $400 mail-in rebate for those contracts.
You underestimate how cheaply ARM7s can be cranked out. Look at something like the Game Boy Advance - it has an ARM7, which was good enough for a desktop in the mid 90's.
It is a high school (the thread that the OP referenced is linked somewhere in the comments here.)
Anyway, this is one hell of a stretch, but it might make the search not as illegal. The person was accused of possessing illegal intellectual property.
However, as mentioned in that thread... it falls under fair use, and therefore not illegal.

Right, I'm talking about high-quality ergonomic keyboards, which cost $500 for a 10 year old example on eBay, for the most part.

Actually, no, it's a prime example of INferior software going extinct because of its inferiority.
Palm OS Cobalt was a prime example of software failing to even successfully launch because of critical missing features.
No.

Except Licking County, OH (my county) uses a .com for all their government business. - http://www.lcounty.com/
Google it if you don't believe it (which, in this article, I don't blame you.)

Looks like they're keeping current Geodes in production, just not introducing new ones.
Except unlike Solaris on Intel, an AMD embedded x86 SoC doesn't have to deal with an architecture switch.
Another idea... don't put it in an actual capsule at all.
Climate controlled closet, visual inspection of the system yearly, boot test every three years. Also, every year or two, fresh burns of optical media.
And then whoever wrote the notes could legally use the DMCA takedown counterclaim provision to get it back up, by law.
They could just not let the machine into the classroom.
Which is what digital pens and the special dot paper are for.
Hell, there's even a version meant for students, made by LeapFrog (although it probably WILL get you made fun of.)
